Let's go to Vegas...

We went to Las Vegas to trade motorcycles with a guy. Hopefully the new motorcycle will sell for more moolah. Warning: Shameless plug- You can check out the Ebay auction here if you want to see pictures. When he told me he wanted to trade bikes, in my mind I was thinking, "Only if it's a BMW." I lost. It's a BMW 1150 something something something.

Anyhoo, we took the kids and decided to show them around! We tried to eat at the Orleans because they have a fabu Mexican place called Don Miguels. It's closed on Mondays. So we went over to the Paris for dinner. The kids had pizza slices but I had a toasted ham and swiss croissant. Then we had fruit tarts and eclairs for dessert.
Jack insisted on calling his eclair a doughnut. (I think you get thrown out of France for something like that.) Just kidding. French people are very nice as long as you don't go over there shouting, "America is the best thing ever!" Seriously, Americans are fat, ignorant, and arrogant. I love America, I really do. But I think Americans are a little spoiled. (Where did that come from??)
So on with the story, we ate and then walked across the street to watch the Bellagio fountain show. Here we are waiting for the show to begin. I have my classic, "Everyone look at the camera and say CHEESE!" face. But everyone else had a happy face so I can't complain.

Maxine loved the fountain show and stated that she felt like she was dreaming, only she was awake! (Parents score 2 points) Then we walked up to see the conservatory.

I don't have any pictures of the conservatory because it was being converted to a new theme. Maxine was bummed that we couldn't walk inside but settled for walking around the perimeter. It was a quick trip and we'll be heading back soon because Merril's little sister, Megan, will be coming home from her mission in Sweden in a little over a week! WOW!
